Prince Turqi of Saudi Arabia from Glocalnetblog on Vimeo.

One of the people that I’ve come to know the past couple of years and thoroughly enjoy being around Is Prince Turqi of Saudi Arabia.  He is a very engaging man to talk to - he is incredibly sharp and quick.  We have had some fascinating conversations.  The first time we met - he asked me why some Christians viewed him and his family as the anti-Christ.  We wound up spending that first meeting with him asking me questions about what evangelicals believe about the second coming of Christ.  He is living proof of someone who has been wounded by speculative theology on the second coming.  To personalize aberrant views by putting modern names to metaphorical figures does massive damage to the sharing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

MARK YOUR CALENDAR - NOVEBMER 11-14—he, and a host of other high ranking global leaders that are Muslim, Atheist, Communist, representing domains of government, business, media, and other domains along with religious leaders will all be converging at NorthWood.  I’ve been asked by many people to do this for years - it will be a conference on globalization and faith.  In a sense a “missions conference” for Christians with non-Christian speakers that get the world.  It will be for Christians to be able to get a picture of the world and visit with many of the gatekeepers.  Don’t know what we’ll call it yet - keep your calendar open and watch glocal.net for more info.
